I've also tried setting the internal (Lynx) sata ports from AHCI to IDE mode, since ESXi so thos as a raid controller aswell, but it makes no difference. The devices works perfectly under both Windows 7 and Linux on the same machine, but VmWare remains a problem. Invalid adapter specified or unable to get adapter 'vmhba1' ~ # esxcli storage core adapter rescan -adapter vmhba1 When I try to manualy add the device to the storagelist I get the follwing error:
3ware raid controller driver windows 10 driver#
When I connect to the machien via ssh and run lspci I can see it reconigzes the controller and even addresses it with an id:Ġ0:03:00.0 Mass storage controller: 3ware Inc 9650SE SATA-II RAID PCIe <- without driver loadedĠ0:03:00.0 Mass storge controller: 3ware 9650SE 3ware 9650SE <- with driver loaded Installed the official driver in VmWare for it, but it's not showing up under storage devices, but the driver is listed. The controller installed just fine, created a RAID 10 volume using the bios interface of the card. I was able to pickup a LSI/3Ware 9650SE-8LPML + 4 Western Digital Green WD20EARS, 2TB for a good price to add some extra iops in the mix. VMstorage: Samsung Spinpoint F1 HD753LJ, 750GB (<- will be removed when this problem is solved) MEM: Kingston HyperX KHX1600C10D3B1K2/16Gīootdisk: Western Digital Raptor WD740ADFD, 73GB

The specs for the machine are the following: I'm currently in the middle off a hardware upgrade for my home ESXi 5.1 (u1) machine, which I use for testing and training towards certifications (mostly microsoft)
